There's legitimate concern that won't be a viable option, and the admin has hinted that will soon be the case.

Fortunately the federal government doesn't run or control elections, so the current administration doesn't really have a say here.

The federal executive also doesn't set budgets, or choose which congressionally mandated departments will be open today, yet it's 2025 and it is doing exactly that. And back in 2020, it was conspiring to send fake electors to cast votes for itself, and to fix vote counts in Georgia. (Which I have heard is also not a responsibility of the federal government, but the courts have called it an official act, so here we are.)

Why do you think that a government that is not bound by the need to follow the law will... Actually follow the law?
